It took me two freaking years to realize
you get a blue coin for lifting the yellow boat in Ricco Harbor by squirting some kind of gear, which can only be done on a specific Episode. It was painful as I had to search during all that time just to do one last thing for 100% completion. It should NOT take years to figure something out; not everybody has all that time.
I almost HAD to look up walkthroughs to learn that
certain spots on walls or the ground can be squirted on to reveal Blue Shine outlines for blue coins. Some cases even involve Shine Sprites. wtf (inb4 the moon) However, I figured that out by complete accident, not from effort.
On my most recent game file (this is my latest data, but I have 100%ed this game before many years ago), I have spent about a week worth of play time overall trying to get the last couple blue coins I need at Gelato Beach--tried doing anything on every Episode numerous times, but still no dice. I am almost ready to call it a bug, but it isn't because I've done it in the past. It's that ♥♥♥♥ difficult finding certain blue coins. Ugh...
Currently playing: Super Mario Flash 2. I have been very excited by how the game finally got updated after several years. Custom backgrounds ftw.
